If you’re looking for a motivating diversion, check out Erin being interviewed yesterday on The O Myth, a weekly online radio show and podcast that explores the myths and misconceptions about being organized. On their show, Portland-based professional organizers Krista Colvin and Brandie Kajino debunk organizing stereotypes, and this week they specifically ask Erin if products are the solution to getting organized.

I can’t seem to find the podcast – I’d like to listen to this, but can’t sit by my computer doing that, so I’d like to subscribe. Sorry if I’m just being dense, but can you point me to the right place?

The solution to organizing is in re-using boxes. Packaging is a science of design and engineering genius. As soon as we bring home a product in a box or a big bag (such as TP), we cut off the tops and make organizing bins for drawers, for the garage, for the pantry. Bins and bags for returning things to neighbors and family. Then when they’re kinda shot we let our kids at them and split them down the sides for coloring or fort building. Awesome.
